Verdict on the press

Frustrations shows. "I've got some must-call, I'm sorry." So it's at least partly scripted.

"War footing" "gathering threats" "we have to be right 100% of the time" "mainly history" "moved heaven and earth"

We should count and sort the words from Condi's testimony and Bush's answers. I'll bet there's an unnatural correlation.

Q: 135,000 American troops, 12,000 British, maybe more mercs than Brits, isn't the "coalition" windows dressing? A: Don't say bad things about my friends

This is fucking amazing.

And I blame the press. Maybe three of four questions asked here could have been asked before the war. I remember. The press sucked up from fear the White House would cut them out, but THE CONSERVATIVE COUP NEEDS THE PRESS MORE THAN THE PRESS NEEDS IT.

Think about it…all the spinning, all the creativity put into convincing people invasion was the way to go means they needed you as a channel.

But we need you too.
